It was not until he took a walk along one of the corridors at the City Ground that Callum Hudson-Odoi realised the stature of the club he was about to join.
‘You know, I didn’t realise until the day I came here to sign,’ smiled the Nottingham Forest midfielder.
‘I did the tour round and saw the two Champions League trophies on display and I was like: “Wow. Big club, massive history”. You realise it when you see that.
‘It was a big moment for me because, you know, I have one of those nice things myself too…’
Hudson-Odoi is the London boy who chose to move from what he knows to try and find himself again.
